Day Of Steam Logging Train Ending
Republican Nomination Eyed By Salem Resident
The noisy, dirty and dangrrout
team lucomotive hat had Ha dav
dona in by the mure efficient die
ael engine.
Or 10 one it led to believe. But
out here in Oregon't tall timber
country, there't still I chance to
glimpse an old iteam pot whit
tling while the workt on a logging
railroad.
There are teven alraniers atill
active or on standby duty in the
atale. according to a compilation
in "lagging Railroads o( the
West," a new book from Superior
Publishing Co. of Seattle.
Thirty Remain '
About 30 remain in Arizona. Cal
ifornia, Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington. Three decades ago there
were more than a thousand steam
log haulers in the tame five stales.
Oregon loggcrt at that time
claimed total of 265 engines, of
which 184 were geared types, tuch
is the Shay, Heisler and Climax.
In most cases, tenliment rath
er than economics is responsi
ble (or keeping the museum pieces
rolling. None of the present opera
tors of steam equipment will deny
that diesel locomotive p'wer is
more etfictent or that it it cheaper
to maintain. No doubt aome o( the
excuses they give for retaining the
team bogs are loused upon wun
a fishy eye by the accountants
back in thi lumber company's
bead office.
Engine Slew
the tmall-wheeled logging en
gine it slow, too. "She'll do 13
miles an hour when the grade's
with her," reports an old-umer ai
Bedford Corp. logging show.
"Maybe faster off the edge of a
cliff."
Why Is the locomotivi referred
to in the feminine gender? Ac
cording, to William M. (Casey)
Jones, who pilots an aging Mallet
ior Weyerhaeuser Co. at Klamath
falls, the reason is that, like a
woman, she would rather not ad
mit her age after 20 years.

STEAM POT like this Heisler geared model has almost disappeared from Oregon's
forests. Railroad logging wos approaching its heyday in the '20's when this photo was
taken near Coos Bay. Old Smith-Powers Logging Co. frocks there ore still used by
Georgia-Pacific Corp., according to new book, "Logging Railroads of the West."
The average steam "lokey"
today has been hauling Oregon fir,
spruce, pine or cedar for close to
35 years.
A changing philosophy or Umber
conservation long ago doomed the
type of logging in which the loco
motive wat run on temporary
tracks up to the falling tite. some
outfits hooked cables on the Ioks
and u.rd the "lokey" to drag them
up to ti e rail landing for loading. I
Legs Reloaded
The 14 surviving logging rail
roads in Oregon ire mainline
haulers. Trucks bring the logs
from the woods to reload point,
where rail cars are picked up by
the locomotive for the downhill run
to the lumber mill.
In the highball days of Oregon's
eight decades of rail logging, ev
ery conceivable type of locomotive
power was used. Author Kramer
A. Adams relates. Many of the
early types were simply station
ary steam engines mounted or
railroad flatcars. They seemed to
be constructed mainly of baling
wire and kept together by log
gers' ingenuity.
The last of the locomotive re
maining in Oregon are located at
Hrande Ronde, Kinzua. Klamath
Falls. Medford, Mill City, Powers
and Seneca.
Petition Would Limit
Action By Legislature
SALEM (AP) A preliminary
pttition for constitutional
amendment that would prohibit
the ' legislature from acting con
trary to favorable vote of the
people on an Initiative or referen
dum was, filed this week.
Tlta 'petition was filed by mail
with the Elections Division of the
secretary of state. It was sent by
the Citizens Council for Voters'
Jtights, Eugene, headed by Flor
ence Reed Cook.
The petition will go to the attor
ney general for ballot title. Then
the sponsors must seek 53.UJ7 sig
natures to put the measure on the
1962 general election ballot.
The proposal would make It un
lawful, for example, for the legis
lature to permit daylight saving
time if the people naa voiea ior
statewide standard time.
- The same group previously filed
a preliminary petition for an Ini
tiative that would go on the 1962
ballot to do away with optional
daylight saving time in the five
county Portland area.

Whale hunting, beachcombing
and traveling a wildly beautiful
part of our continent with a man
who loves it and wants to snare
it with his readers makes a splen
did narrative, full of fun, fascina
tion and excitement. "Hunting the
Desert Whale" by Erie Stanley
Gardner brings to the reader the
personal adventures of the author
in Ban. Cam.
The hunting was done by earners
only. The whales were there, too-
mammoth creatures wno every
vear leave the Bering Sea to jour
ney the 6.000 miles to Scammon's
Lagoon. Peaceful when left alone,
the huge animals are dangerous
when pursued. Kegardlesa of the
risks to the ohotogrsphers, how
ever, photographs were taken, and
the whalea are intimately observed
at both their feeding and tneir
matins. In between whaling expe
ditions, the lagoon was explored
with a "Tote Gote" a vehicle
msde specifically for beachcomb-ing.
"Papa's" Book
"Psds Jlartel" by Gerald Robi
rhaud is a novel about French
Canadian family living in Maine
There are seven children, a very
special mother and most excep
tionally wonderful father Papa
M artel. He could neither read nor
write, yet his wife was an ex
school teacher and in ex-novice in
i convent. Their children grew to
an unusual level of wisdom within
the warmth and love of their
household.
"Papa Martel" tells the story of
his family at 10 different periods
of the children's growing up. You
may weep and laugh along with
them in the glow of their kitchen.
is a character with slightly larger
than life's qualities.
Fewer Packed Nevel
"Good Friday 1963" by Otis Car
ney is a compelling parable of our
times.
Dr. Matthew Bone, eminent sci
entist and chairman of the Presi
dents Defense Plans Committee,
walked up the steps to the Lincoln
Memorial . .and there, in front of
the towering figure inside, took bit
own life.
As the author explores the rea
sons behind Matthew Bone's ap
parent suicide, taking the reader
into Bone's past where success
had been increasingly synonymous
with compromise and ahead into
the very near future, he becomes
aware that here, in the form of a
novel, is a deeply felt and signifi
cant statement concerning the in-
dividual'a role in the United States
today. It is a dramatic and per
suasive plea to mend our fences
before a disastrous Good Friday,
1963, becomes a reality.
